There were “immediate” conversations of a sequel to Fire Island following the release of the gaycation comedy last year, Matt Rogers has revealed.
Written by and starring Joel Kim Booster, the Pride and Prejudice-inspired film follows a group of gay friends who embark on their annual weeklong vacation to the titular hotspot.
Also starring Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, Margaret Cho, James Scully, Torian Miller, Tomás Matos, Nick Adams and Zane Phillips, Fire Island was hailed as an instant queer classic.
Fans and critics praised the Andrew Ahn-directed comedy for centring the queer Asian-American experience and for exploring issues such as body image, wealth and race, as well as its celebration of LGBTQ+ culture.
